Allen's Artroom
"Creativity takes courage." -Henri Matisse
Creativity sometimes gets messy...
TAB: Teaching to Artistic Behavior
A key element in the choice-based art room is the availability of many centers or “studios”. The studios are small learning areas where students go to create. Materials and instructions are carefully arranged so that students have access to an extremely wide variety of media. Some studios include: Drawing, Painting, Collage, Fiber Arts, Weaving, Printmaking, and Sculpture. Kids’ art is great art! Parents will notice that the artwork their children will bring home might look different than in previous years. You will no longer see hallways filled with slight variations of the same project. Since choice-based art education puts the student in charge of choosing media and subject matter, there will be an extremely wide variety of projects coming out of the same classroom. It is important to note that children’s inspiration should come from their personal experiences and perspectives of the world around them. To most children the process of creating something is in itself the work of art. A child’s world is quite different from our own... their art should truly be different as well. We are building creativity! Students get to dive into their own passions, interests, and ideas and help them grow.

About Me!
My goals for this school year are to encourage your child to think independently/creatively, experiment, make mistakes yet try again, and do something they have never done before! Art truly is in every essence of our lives and it is my duty to open your child’s eye to its possibilities.
